[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand where you’re coming from, but its much more nuanced.

Parents are paying you for a service, so screen limits is absolutely acceptable. Contrast to having grandma watch the baby for free - parents will be more lenient because beggars can’t be choosers.

The parents who can afford nannies have high stress demanding jobs. If they need to put their kid in front of the tv so they can take an unexpected call, answer an after hours work email or get ready for work, I completely understand.

Now, if they’re just doing it because they’re lazy or don’t like hanging with their kids, that’s different. But I’m betting 90% if the time, it really is necessary.

I suppose if you are interested you could offer to extend your hours so they could get their work done without resorting to TV. But barring that, give the parents some grace and understanding!!![/quote]

I am sorry but I take professional offense at your phrase that “beggars cannot be choosers.”

Are you implying that every Nanny is a beggar??
You must be a parent if you truly believe this.

Hopefully you just made a bad analogy word choice.

Signed,
A Nanny [/quote]
